North west of Holyhead, South Stack Lighthouse silhouetted against a rather nice sunset. Although it's not clear from this shot, the light house is on its own little island. To get to the island you have to walk down 400 steps cut into the steep cliffs and then cross a small bridge.
Until 1828, when you reached the bottom of the steps, the only way across was to climb into a small wicker basket suspended from a hemp rope and be pulled across.
I like this shot. The colours of the sky, the warm reflection in the water, and the matching light at the top of the lighthouse all combine to make a lovely composition.
The colors are marvelous - the pov ideal. Wonder what it would be to stay in that lighthouse for a week - it feels so peaceful and isolated for this shot.
